Default Celebrity Death Christopher Tolkien

Passed today at 95, the son of JRR Tolkien and guardian of Middle Earth.


He drew most of the maps of middle earth and edited and pulled together his fathers notes to give us books like the Simarillian, and the History of Middle Earth.


He was harshly critical of the Lord of the Rings movie and hated the commercialization of his father.

Holy crap, He was 95? I always pictured him being like 10 years older than me. Hope he never had to sit through the hobbit
